What is the probability that the demand for brewed coffee will be between 7 gallons and 13 gallons? b. In case you want to satisfy the demand 97% of time, how many gallons of brewed coffee do you need to prepare every Saturday? c. What is the range of the demand for brewed coffee with 97% certainty (i.e. 97% confidence interval of the demand)?
